This is a delightfully well made item. Nicely crafted well designed and nicely finished. The directions I found clear and easy to follow once I got over my nervousness and tried them, although I was a little intimidated at first, because it looked a lot more complicated than it turned out to be. It will not make really big men's socks. If you are making socks for Mr. Bigfoot, this is not the tool for you. But for most men's socks, almost all women's socks, and children's or baby's socks, even socks for your favorite pooch, this will do the job, and has the usual advantages of loom knitting of no needles to drop and not easy to drop stitches, although if you are all thumbs one day, it is sort of possible to drop a stitch, but at least you will know you have done so and can recover.

Unfortunately, I am one of those few souls with extra large soles, so I will probably experiment with making mittens and fingerless gloves on mine, as well as socks for four paws.
